Great quotes...

It has been said that adoption is more like a marriage than a birth: two (or more) individuals, each with their own unique mix of needs, patterns, and genetic history, coming together with love, hope, and commitment for a joint future. You become a family not because you share the same genes, but because you share love for each other.
Joan McNamara

(Joan works for Hopsctoch Adoptions Inc., they are who we are using to bring Ben home, and she is awesome!)
